Question

A student describes the motion of particles in each of the four different states of matter.State 1: Particles that are charged move freelyState 2: Particles move freely at high speedState 3: Particles are locked in placeState 4: Particles slide past one anotherWhich state describes gases?State 1State 2State 3State 4

Answer 1

State 2: Particles move freely at high speed

Explanations:

Matter is anything that has weight and occupies space. Some of the states of matter include;

Solid state: They are highly compact with strong electrostatic force between the molecules. Based on their state, their particle are unable to move freely but vibrate about their fixed position.

Liquid state: The liquid sill the shape of the container they contained. Particles of the liquid are able to move freely and collides with the walls of the containers they fill.

Gaseous State: They are known to expnad more to fill their container and easy to compress. They tend to occupy more space than both solid and liquid showing that the distance between its particles are larger compared to other states of matter.

Based on the explanation above, we can conclude that the state that describes gases is that its particles move freely at high speed
